Fiber Optic Coupling Scheme
Coax to Fiber Optic Links
The ControlNet Repeater Adapter and ControlNet Fiber Module quickly connect to form
a Repeater/Fiber hub that lets you extend the length of a coax segment through fiber optic
links – See Figure 1. This is similar to using a coax repeater, but fiber optic cable
provides a more secure transmission over a greater distance.
The ControlNet Repeater Adapter (or the fiber optic repeater) connects to a coax trunk
cable using a standard tap and drop cable. Each Repeater Adapter supports up to four
Fiber Modules. Each Fiber Module has a pair of Receive and Transmit ports for fiber
optic cable connections.
